The Yogi Adityanath government has instructed Uttar Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation (UPSRTC) to improve the maintenance and repair of buses, especially air-conditioned buses, to ensure safe and comfortable journeys of passengers amid the scorching heat prevailing in the state.
UPSRTC officials on Wednesday paid a field visit to inspect the condition of buses on the instructions of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. The chief minister has directed officials to ensure that the passengers were not affected by the hot weather conditions due to non-sealing of coach panes, curtains and emergency doors.
The government also instructed the service managers and assistant regional managers to solve the issues by June 15.
Minister of State for Transport (Independent Charge) Dayashankar Singh said that in view of the weather conditions, instructions had been given for proper maintenance of A/C equipment, fixing of curtains and keeping passenger coaches in an airtight state.
“The emphasis on special arrangements for the cleaning of air-conditioned buses reflects our commitment to maintain a hygienic and pleasant travel experience,” he said.
